Recommended Posts

"Dusty" getting ready and present at this past weekends "Mesquite Mania" hotrod and classic carshow.

Dusty is a 1988 Conquest tsi shp, i'm the second owner , in the past few months Dusty recieved a total "strip down" resto and new paint by California paint and body here in Las vegas.

Under the hood the car is fully "blinged" running full *DM hardpipe kit,big intercooler, radiator and a host of other "old school" HKS items topped of with a spanking new 14g turbo and runs STRONG ! ,what isnt chrome plated is either polished or gold anodized. :)

The famous ScottyGibb red shp! man that car is beautiful. Looks outstanding mang. That thing was nice before you even started the restoration.

Yea man it was in great shape , it had a few tiny dings in the body that always really annoyed me , a good "dentpro"guy could have put it right but i went the long expensive route and the guys at California paint and body did an outstanding job on the tear-down, body and paint job even down to replicating the rare optional pin-striping on the door sills and fenders , sad thing now is the car is so pretty i'm scared to drive or park it anywere ! :lol: Edited by scottygibb

...and eating RX8's for a daily meal :D

I'm sure this new RX8 went back to the dealer Monday morning with the owner asking why a 20 plus year old turbo turd Conquest walked away from him on US95 Saturday night :) . Edited by scottygibb

Pain to keep clean it is , thats a old pic , i kept the 'bling thing' going to the point i ran out of things to bling , Viper,the chrome battery cover is a plastic door mirror cut down and made into a cover with blingy terminals , the car is now in the process of going MPI and of course its blinged out also
